First, Gudbranson is definitely considered to be a kid of high character. What happened was nothing more than him sticking up for his goalie. But because it's the OHL they have a suspension policy that goes way beyond what the NHL would do. I watched him play in the the World Juniors and he's far from a head hunting, out of control player. The incident wasn't even that bad. The kid he hit, Labardo, wasn't hurt at all by the hit. Try watching the video of the incident and you'll see that it's being way overblown.

RED BARONFri, 28 Jan 2011 21:24:41 +0000http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_hockey_panthers/?p=2586#comment-15067What contradiction? If he will be getting indefinite suspensions and game misconducts he will be a detriment to the team and not an asset. Better to get rid of him while other GM's still believe his behavior was an isolated incident. They can still get something decent in return. If they wait until he becomes another Bertuzzi/McSorley/Hunter/Simon liability no team will want him because he will be too much of an on ice distraction. Florida needs passionate players, but not guys who are immature and cannot keep their emotions in check. Maybe he will mature in a couple of years, but if this keeps up they need to dump this guy now and get something for him while they still can (as opposed to waiting until his worth is zero as the Panthers always do)What contradiction?

RED BARONThu, 27 Jan 2011 19:09:20 +0000http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_hockey_panthers/?p=2586#comment-15041Even better. Trade him for a player that can produce, but doesn't hurt the team with anger outbursts, flying elbows, and dirty head-shots. This guy sounds like the type who will blow his stack at the most inopportune time and cost the team. Look what he did to his OHL club, By beign suspended indefinitely, he now has flushed their entire season down the toilet because with him out of the line-up they will nose dive in the standings. Can you imagine if this putz had done that on the Panthers? We could kiss the rest of the season goodbye thanks to one idiot who can't keep his anger in check. Instead of lashing out at coaches and players, he should learn how to focus that pent-up frustration on scoring. Then we might have something to actually get excited about.Even better.

I don't know, I think they should have given him top-3 rookie money and been done with it.I hope they sign this guy soon…although, I guess that would not be the best thing because wouldn’t they lose a year of rookie-scale eligibility (sp?)?
